2. `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch:
3. `Thou hast said, Woe to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found.
4. Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.
5. And thou--thou seekest for thee great things--do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh--an affirmation of Jehovah--and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.'
